The Original Greene Turtle

My sister and my 2 nieces were visiting from Ohio. I wanted them to experience The Original Green Turtle in OC. Our server was great and so was the food. Lots of tvs with the Sunday afternoon Football games playing. Atmosphere felt fun and OC spirit filled. Plenty of families and friend groups gathered there that day. I would definitely eat here again.

Immediately got in to seat. Caroline was our server tonight. Ordered Chicken and waffles, Rib eye steak, rice, vegetable medaly, and cheese fries. Received our food quickly. Too much to eat, boxed up leftovers.

On a cold winter day, a group of 14 showed up for lunch. Given it is the off-season, there were only a handful of people in the restaurant. It truly is a sports bar with great decor, and lots of TV to watch your sport.

Jean was the bartender and also waited on our table. It’s an understatement, but she was fantastic! A positive attitude, helpful to everyone, and just really did an incredible job. She really hustled to get us our drinks, get us our food, and get us back on the road to our activities.

For lunch I had the cheeseburger sliders. Served on a pretzel bun, they were delicious. Many in our group opted for warmer, filling items, like Marvin’s chili, and Maryland crab soup. Lots others had burgers and a few salads. Everyone left satisfied for the delicious meal and the great service.

The restaurant has lots of seating area, including an area upstairs. In addition, there is a large bar. While it is not busy now due to being off-season, I’m sure this place is hopping during the summer.

So if you are in the area stop on by. Have a drink or even a meal, and enjoy the atmosphere.
